Along A Rocky Shore: Non-fiction with "voice"

I am a second grade teacher who used this book for shared reading. First I read it aloud to my students. I scanned some pages and projected them onto my T.V. screen. I also enlarged the text so everyone could see and read with me.My students and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This is a special kind of non-fiction, one that deals mostly with facts, but expresses opinions in a subtle way, ie. "...graceful sea lions", "...air smells fresh and salty...", etc. We used the text and practiced writing eyewitness accounts by adding more opinions and feelings. The phrases in the book, which were all very inviting, facilitated the transformation and aided us immensely in our project.If you are looking for a book that soothes and relaxes with its words yet mesmerizes you with National Geographic-worthy photographs, this is the text for you and your kids!
